Sally in Our Alley, from Illustration for "Sally in Our Alley" by H. Carey) 1881 - 1891

"Sally in Our Alley" is a pen and ink drawing created by Edwin Austin Abbey between 1881 and 1891. The drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an illustration for the traditional English folk song of the same name. The drawing features a group of people in 18th-century attire strolling down a cobblestone street, with a building in the background, all rendered in detailed and delicate lines. The depiction evokes a sense of quaint, everyday life in England. The drawing showcases Abbey's skill in capturing both the charm and the realism of historical settings, making it a valuable piece for understanding the artistic trends of the late 19th century.
